Re: Comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) now in SWAN

 

Hi Vladimir,

I've been imaging this comet in the morning twilight using iTelescope T70 in Chile. This is a 135mm Samyang lens but it has the advantage of being able to get to the horizon. As of this morning I got m1=8.1 using Gaia G and comphot.

Images and ICQ data are here:



Observing conditions at 30 deg S will improve until around Dec 22. After that the comet should be visible until early January, by which time it might be mag 3 or so.

Nick James. BAA.

Hi All.
Just for information - a recent bright comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) now is visible in the last SWAN images.
X-Y position (0,0 - upper left) on 9/12 is 226-321.
Comet`s UV singature is enough bright with slow angular motion at low solar elongation.
Vladimir.
